Room Ideas For Kids

Do you need some ideas for decorating kids rooms?
The best way to get good ideas is to ask your children! Involving your children in the decorating process can be rewarding for both you and them.

Be prepared for their tastes to change as they grow older, so be careful not to get too trendy with the decorating. Passing fads can fade pretty quickly, leaving them with a room that they don't like anymore.

Preschool Child's Room

Storing Toys -  Using shelves with containers that are easy to reach will make clean up time easier for them. Remember, the fewer toys they have, the less clutter there is. There is also more room to play with fewer toys. 
Save the more delicate items for storage on top shelves or out of the line of sight.
Painting  - it's fun and easy to use bright colors in a kid's room.  It's relatively easy to change later and will give them a sense of personal space if their room is different.


Hobbies - What hobbies or interests do they have? If they are involved with sports, that can be incorporated into the decorating as well.
Accessories - keep rugs, pillows,bedding, curtains, etc. in easy-to-clean textiles. Avoid white or cream solids that will get dirty easily.
Wall Decor - It's so nice not to worry about the kids breaking things, so use one of the easiest ways to decorate your child's room. Try wall stickers! Easy to apply and remove, they come in a wide variety of shapes, sayings, art forms.

Redoing Your Not-So-Little Girl's Room

DA016-G

Are you getting ready to make a beautiful nursery for your new baby girl?  Or is it time to transform that nursery into a big girl room? I found some awesome design ideas that you could use to make that transformation easier! 

Use every color in the paint world arsenal! Make it a rainbow-like, color filled room! But don't forget to use a neutral color to tone down the boldness of the colors just a little.

Sayings and quotes are always a big hit. Find one that fits your daughter perfectly on our website!  We have stickers for baby girl nursery decor and big girl bedrooms!

Start early and add a little sophistication into your baby girl's life! Add her initials in a pretty monogram to the wall for a timeless effect!

Chalkboard walls are always fun to do! It might take a bit more work for you, but the end result is awesome. Plus, while you get to draw and write on it now, in a few years she'll have so much fun making her own creations on it!

Zebra Alphabet with Name

You can always add a monogram sticker with her name to personalize her space, especially if she has to share a room with her sister! Or make it a zebra print monogram for some extra fun!

If you really, really want to use pink in her room (but don't want it to be too bold or even too sweet and pastel-like), add some dark browns or black to even out the pink tones.

Oh there are just so many ways to design a little girl's room! I hope these ideas help you get started and have fun planning and decorating!

Helping Out Our Friends at Special Spaces

Heather, Ana, Ana's brother, and Kim

Just over 2 weeks ago, we were contacted by Kim. She is the volunteer director of the Special Spaces chapter in Philadelphia/Newark DE. They are a non-profit and do bedroom makeovers for very sick children with life-threatening illnesses.

She wanted to know if we would be willing to donate some of our large zebra dot wall stickers for, Ana, a little girl who has a love of all things zebra and jungle themed.

Ana has an inoperable brain tumor, and so Special Spaces wanted to do all they could to make what could possibly be her last year, an awesome one.

Of course we said yes! It is an amazing thing this non-profit is doing for these kids!

We definitely wanted to be a part of it, so we sent out our turquoise and black zebra dot wall stickers.

Ana loved it! The expression on her face (on Special Spaces Delaware/Newark/Philly Facebook album titled: Ana's Makeover 3/12/14) is so precious!

Ana's Toy Chest With Zebra Dots

She was so excited about everything! We love how they used our zebra dot wall stickers for Ana's new toy box! They turned out super cute! See the whole room by going to Special Spaces' Facebook page!

The gals here at Wall Decor Plus More couldn't be more honored and happy to be a part of such an amazing project! Thank you Special Spaces for all that you do!

Toy box and new closet!

Jazz up a Bedroom Wall for under $35!

After recovering from the holiday rush, I finally got around to finishing the paint job in my daughters room.  We used her new bedding set as an idea on what to put on her walls.  We came up with these NEAT Flower Spike Wall Stickers to coordinate with the Polka Dots and add some pizzazz to the design!

We decorated the wall behind her bed and one other small wall that jutted out in her room.  Here is the what we used to accomplish that: 

2 sets of 2" Variety Dots  (1 each in Hot Pink and White) - $10.40

2 sets of 3" Variety Dots  (1 each in Hot Pink and White) - $10.40

1 set of Flower Spike Stickers in Plum - 12 pc set - $11.25

Total: $32.05

The bedsheets don't show in the photo but they are an almost exact match to the wall decor!  The Flower Spikes are just the thing to JaZz up the Polka Dot Stickers!

 

Zebra Stripe Stickers - new updated size

As anyone who has worked with wall stickers before may know, tiny pieces make it harder to apply to the wall or surface. With that in mind, Wall Decor Plus More has an ALL NEW Zebra stripe Wall Sticker, which features larger more solid pieces and a larger size. The stripe is still 36" long but the height is now 5".

The all new zebra stripes are also featured on the SALE PAGE this month only!  Now only $19 for 2- 3 foot zebra stripes!

Zebra stripes are neat as a border around a room or piece of furniture. The zebra stripes can also be cut up and made as a feature arrangement in the middle of a wall.  Zebra Print Wall Decor is popular in bedding from baby, teen and even adult sets.

Flower Wall Stickers with Stems

One of our latest pages - Tree and Floral Wall Art - features these unique Flower Decals. 

There are a variety of flower tops to choose from.  Stems can be added on the order, if you choose also. 

You choose the color of the flower and also the color of the flower stems. 

You get to use your own flair in putting them together - tall and straight or short and sweet or however you desire. 

These are a breeze to apply, especially to any smooth surface. 

It's always best to let paint cure 2 weeks before applying vinyl decals.
